My parents have been at Astoria for a year now. The staff goes above and beyond to make them comfortable and happy! They accommodate any and all special request we have had. They are very loving and kind and I HIGHLY recommend this place and a safe loving place for your loved ones to call home! read more

Unfortunately I have had a great deal of experience dealing with assisted living and skilled nursing facilities and have found most of them to be criminally understaffed. Almost every place I have dealt with had patients lined up in the hallways, totally unattended - I guess as long as they're out of their rooms, It could be marked up as some level of care. It's hard to fault the caregivers because their hours are horrible and the working conditions are truly awful - but there are never administrators around to take your anger out on. I am happy to say that none of these conditions appear to exist at Astoria - quite the opposite in fact. This is the only place I have ever been to where the administrators are always around, they treat their residents and families like their own. I have never encountered so many wonderful, caring, genuinely kind people as those who work at Astoria. My mother-in-law has been a resident at the Oakdale facility since April 2024. She doesn't want to be there, she wants to be in her own home but unfortunately her condition does not allow her that luxury anymore. Every time I visit her, the staff greet us cheerfully, they respond to her needs within a few minutes, and they go out of their way to treat her with respect. read more

My mom was very reluctant to go into assistant living but was needed. Once she went to Astoria the change was night and day. She's positive and happy not to mention 100% safe which releaved alot of stress off myself and loves her stay here. The meals are wonderful as well as there snacks. She trully enjoys the field trips which there are many and has a great time. The staff are alway kind, caring and amazing at has been such a great experieince when things are tuff with an aging parent. Astoria is small enough to be like someone said a mom and pop but big enough at the same time. And just FYI the history of the place was once the original Oakdale Hospital. read more

Astoria was a great experience for our family. Our aunt enjoyed all of the many excursions and activities provided by the facility. The staff is amazing and very kind/understanding. My aunt was fatigued after covid and Astoria helped her get back up on her feet so she could come home. We would highly recommend this loving facility and happily use their services again. read more

A nice place for a loved one. Staff are friendly and there to help the residents! Food is good which is a plus.

My mom moved to Astoria about 1 month ago. It took a huge load off everybody's shoulders. The care givers are absolutely wonderful. They will go the extra mile to make sure that mom is comfortable and has everything she needs. The facility is clean and spacious. Meals are great! Mom loves the activities that they provide. We are so glad that we found Astoria!!! read more

My husband is currently in the Memory Care Unit at Astoria. He has advanced Alzheimer's and requires a great deal of care. At Astoria I have found that there are numerous dedicated staff members who go out of their way to give that care. The facility encourages family involvement and makes it easy to be part of the program. On holidays they put on wonderful celebrations that include family and residents. Pat P. read more

My grandfather has lived here for a few years and it really is the cat's meow. All he talks about are the field trips in their shuttle, which seem to happen almost daily. He's happy, far happier than I thought possible. Since Agemark acquired the place and did a full on HGTV-worthy renovation and expansion, Astoria has been transformed from a charming mom and pop place with wonderful aspirations into a first class operation that lives up to its potential. The memory care wing is a comfort for a possible future I hope we'll avoid, but if it comes, his world won't be turned upside down. And the staff rocks. Gold stars, Astoria. read more

My father lived at Astoria Senior Living in Oakdale for a little over a year. I cannot say enough about it, and the staff. Executive director Sonya, so kind and professional. Mary Anne, capable head of all things medical, and Cynthia, whose warm smile greeted me that first day I was canvassing facilities. Bette, Hailee, Sammy, Marguerita, Sarge, and everyone I don't have room to name, you were all invaluable to Dad and to us. If you love your parents, let them experience this wonderful environment for themselves. read more

What a wonderful alternative to my dad living with us. It was time that better caregivers than us attend to him. This place is Disneyland compared to the dump my Grandmother had to live in in another part of the state. They do more fun and different activities every day than my husband and I do. Sure you have to get the kinks out with them when the family member first joins and it takes the family and the workers to iron them out but after that it works out great for the patient, the family and the Astoria. Can't say one bad thing about the place at the moment. It was a dream come true when it became too much for me. I have no patience sometimes but they do. I hope he can stay there the rest of his life. Thank you Astoria...your place for him is perfect for now as long as his health stays the same. read more

This was a perfect choice or our parent as it was a pretty smooth adjustment from living on his own, living with family and then with strangers in a home but the Astoria staff are not strangers they are basically a second caring family to the residents. A bright, clean and cheerful place every time you walk in. Yes, it is slightly understaffed but I have never encountered an employee that was not responsible, polite, professional and sweet working there After adjustments are made while placing them, you work with staff and understand the operations. You will see everything is organized and moving along smoothly. Meds are delivered on time, so is laundry, bathing help and meals on time (dinner needs a little more flavor they say) but maybe they can't taste that good anymore. They have fun activities daily and quite a variety of them too. Shuttle bus field trips are fun; my dad enjoys going on some of them and he enjoys the privacy also of his own room. We are very happy and hope he will stay there forever. I truly appreciate the staff as they really work hard. Thank you so much. We tried to take care of him for a time and then there is the time you need Astoria to take over. Thanks and if I need to move in in 30 years, I hope you are still in Oakdale to join you!
